Our Top 5 Favourite Fall Activities

Goodbye summer, hello fall! Pumpkin spice lattes, apple pies, leaves changing colours, and crisp weather is parts of what make up the fall season. The fall season is here and with Thanksgiving being this weekend, and Halloween just around the corner you may be looking forward to all the fall-related activities you can do. We at XYZ Storage have a list of activities you could be spending your upcoming weeks enjoying whether it is by yourself, with friends, or with your family.

1. Apple and Pumpkin Picking

Want to get out of the house for the day? One of the best ways to spend a fall weekend is to go apple or pumpkin picking with your friends and family. Ditch the grocery store pumpkins and go pick your favourite one (or several) from a field of pumpkins! Don’t plan on picking bags of apples or a pumpkin to bring home? You can always purchase a fresh apple or pumpkin pie to take home with you for dessert or for your family’s Thanksgiving plans. There are plenty in the Toronto and Greater Toronto area so you can find the one closest to you and enjoy it.

2. Fall Cleaning

Who doesn’t love fall cleaning? Have your family all join in on the fall cleaning fun! Here are some of the items you can add and check off your list:

• With the weather getting colder, your patio furniture might need to start getting cleaned, wiped down, and put away until next summer
• Clean your gutters – the leaves are pretty, however, they can leave quite a mess for you to deal with
• Wash all of your windows (inside and outside of your house)
• Clean all of your bed sheets, pillowcases, blankets, etc.

3. Outdoor Time

With the colours of the leaves changing and the weather getting cooler it can be a wonderful time to enjoy nature and go for a beautiful walk. Hiking can be an enjoyable activity for you and your loved ones to spend some quality time together. Check out the nearest hiking trail near you and go on a 20 min walk or a three-hour hike! 

4. Delicious Fall Treats

Bake some of your favourite fall treats with your loved ones! Pick your favourite filling and make a delicious pie for your Thanksgiving feast this upcoming weekend. How about two dozen muffins for the family picnic? Whatever you decide to bake it is a wonderful activity to spend doing with your kids, parents, or significant other. Quality time and delicious fall treats to enjoy? Sounds like a win-win to us!
